Jon Stewart and Stacey Abrams aren’t holding back when it comes to the challenges local elections and politicians face. The two broke down the integrity of modern voting in a clip exclusively obtained by TheWrap.

In the latest episode of “The Weekly with Jon Stewart,” Abrams pointed to the budget cuts local election officials have faced and how that has impacted their ability to help voters.

“You make it hard for them to do their job. You take the money away, and then you say, ‘Well, why didn’t you do this job better?’ We’ve got to hold the system accountable, and the system has faces and names, and we know the names because they’re on the ballots,” Abrams said.
